SAFETY BRIEFING.

Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Blue Ball on Thursdays - Paging the Runs List Fairey(s)

I observe that we are due to visit the Blue Sphere this Thursday. Is the Coven aware that this is music night at the said premises? (I am reliably informed that we are unlikely to get a seat let alone hear each other's conversation). But I stand to be corrected!

It's usually ok when there is music, especially as the band is usually to pi**ed to play after 10 pm

And those are usually the best bits!

I'm out tonight. If it's too noisy / no seats, we can decamp to nearby pubs.

in case anyone missed us, we did indeed decamp to the green man, due to above anticipated reasons. The moonshine brewery products were a bonus.
